Help with a system for a guy into electronic music


Hey guys, I've been reading some different threads on here, and it's been really helpful, but I just wanted to get a little advice. I'm a big electronic music guy, love trance, progressive house, progressive breaks, cinematic breaks, some dub. I've been doing some research, testing things out and I've come up with this package:

1. Dynaudio Focus 160
2. Simaudio Moon 340i w/DAC, XLR & Phono
3. 2 x JL Audio f113's.

The system will be going in my living room, up against a drywall. The ceilings are 10ft, and concrete. The dimensions of the room are 18x21. Unfortunatley the living room is on the corner of the building, which means two of the walls are all windows (8ft windows)--trying to find thick curtains to help with this.

Do you think this package will work will? Would you recommend I try something different?

Coloneltushfinger, I have a room half the size of yours and the Dynaudio Focus 160 didn't work for electronic music as the bass was a bit slow, too big and swollen with any amp I tried. I have heard the speakers in bigger rooms and they were amazing, even with tube amps! I've tried most genres, electronic music aswell and that requires a lot of power from the amp! If you can, make sure to try the combo in your room. I have never had any thoughts about using a sub to these speakers, no way, they play very deep by themselves! Unless you are a big deep bass fan of course.
For electronic music, I would also try another danish speaker brand: System Audio. The sound is just a rich and full as Dynaudio but much "quicker" in the bass. The new System Audio Mantra 50 floorstander is probably a very good choice. I have heard the Mantra 60 and compared it side by side with Dynaudio Focus 160, in two different rooms, and it is actually better in every aspect as long as you don't have a very small room. Both speakers are great though!
